lyrics

I take my scissors on holiday
When I find treasures I cut them away
Letters that sparkle
In things one might say
Pictures to flow to
Places to go to

Limbs in the playground
A million hands
Moving and moulding kaleidoscope lands
The orchestra shivers
The ether expands
Beginning fictitious
Becoming delicious

Now it’s just me and the animals
This is me in my tingling fantasy
I am the dream in this animal body
Cool in the openness
Naked with honesty
Light in these fingers
With blinding velocity

I ask for diamonds
And mountains of gold
Castles and creatures from stories of old
And when I get timeless
With nothing to hold
I am the river
Let magic deliver

Now it’s just me and the animals
This is me in my tingling fantasy
I am the dream in this animal body
Cool in the openness
Naked with honesty
Light in these twinkles
With blinding velocity
